The moral of the story is READ THE CONTRACT THOROUGHLY!

He missed his calling. Should have been a lawyer. But nowadays banks WILL NOT change contracts. Too many problems. The bank will force customers to find somewhere else OR just not doing banking with those farmers.

The banker like the landmines in contracts and hope you don't notice them or take the seriously.

A man who wasn’t going to let history repeat itself, he read each word of every contract and had every contract adjusted to his liking, even today when contracts are put in front of people they aren’t given enough time to comprehend what each contract means only the verbal annotation given by the agent
